This school was opened on 27th October 1879, it was originally known as Hazelwood North School.

The name was changed to Bennett’s Creek in 1889.

Full-time status was regained in 1898 but the school was closed permanently in 1903.

The school building was removed in 1904 and the site was sold to Mr. John Larkin in 1906.
